Today morning we walked to the temple though the maddening traffic made us walk warily .
Once we reached the temple it was very peaceful and quiet under the banyan tree
They say temples are built by aghamic traditions as battery rechargers filling devotees with positivity .
The idols can be seen as God or as symbols of God or as merely stone to focus our thoughts on the one and all supreme energy of the universe .
That is the beauty of Hinduism
Its never dogmatic .
It never regulates or dictates
You are free to form your beliefs
Even non belief is valid in Hinduism .
It has rituals orthodoxity superstitions but it also has a broader sweeping spirituality which transcends everything .
Neither is the idol worshipper,
nor the believer that nature or quiet solitude in a conducive atmosphere allows him or her to connect to the power ,
either considered superior or inferior
They are all the same
Fragments of the one dissipating energy .
And funnily this ancient great religion is accused of narrowness by shallower ones .
